What is Mawali?
1.
Hindi/Urdu pejorative slang for the lowest class of male street ruffians. They wear flashy clothes, sport oily hair almost dripping into the atmosphere, annoy your visual senses with their trademark red-toothed smile (acquired through years of betel-nut chewing), smoke heavily and reek of foul body odor thanks to their once-in-a-month showers ritual. Typical hardcore
(Mother to Daughter): Beti, don't look sideways. Full of mawalis.
Interviewee: So, is my job guaranteed?
Interviewer: First get rid of this mawali hair-cut and then we can discuss, maybe.
